Thank you, Glory and Pat, The lawyer now turns out to have MISPLACED the paperwork I made a trip downtown to collect, once his law firm had dropped me. I can hardly express how frustrating and time-taking all this is. I don't understand how Mittel Asen can misplace papers. Is this unusual?? And they don't seem to care about me now that I am not on their list. Can anyone on the list explain how I can be more forceful without going too far? Ivan
